QuakeCon� 2014 is set to be a great spectacle, with FACEIT providing live coverage and

ddk and

Zoot on the mic to provide commentary. But of course most of the show will come from the players!

The Intel� QUAKE LIVE Duel Masters Invitational will feature a stunning $20,000 in prizes and the player line-up is shaping up to be nothing but impressive. The first eight invited players are

DaHanG,

ZeRo4 and

Rapha, representing the United States, while from all the way from the South we have the

Doomsd4y, representing Argentina.

Europe will send a strong delegation this year as well, with the first names to be invited being

evil,

tox, as well as

strenx, who is coming out of retirement specially for QuakeCon, and recent FACEIT Spring Champion and DreamHack victor,

Cypher.

First 8 invited players

The line-up features several QuakeCon champions, with tox taking two duel titles, while ZeRo4, Cypher and rapha all have three duel trophies. This totals to eleven golden medals, excluding all of the team achievements!

Last year saw a European versus American final, in evil versus Rapha. In the end, the American bagged the win after a tense final. Who will take it all the way this year? Will the Europeans prove the strongest, or will the Americans defend their crown?

QuakeCon without John Carmack (94 comments)

( Major News: Gaming)

Posted by Badb0y @ 07:52 CDT, 13 June 2014 - iMsg

Event: QC'14

John Carmack via twitter

"Since the question keeps getting asked -- no, I am not going to be at Quakecon this year. My 2.5 hr talk at SMU should still be released."

The talk at the Southern Methodist University took place on April 25th and has not yet been published (people.smu).

John had tweeted several times in the past he would keep his keyspeech aka techtalk at QuakeCon if Zenimax even let him. But recently Zenimax sued John for a Virtual Reality code copy (bluesnews ZeniMax vs. Oculus, Oculus responds). Who knows, if it had not been for the current action he might have gone to QuakeCon.
